Somewhere in The Screwtape Letters, the professor devil says to his student demon: "Human stupidity might have limits, but we have not found them yet."
In 2023, we still have not found them.
How can anybody with two functioning brain cells be invested in the political process or the financial markets.
The stock market utterly defies gravity, and the 2020 election was absolutely stolen. They all but flung it in our face.
Trump ain't my president, but Trump should be their president, for what it is worth.
Our only hope is that the jab was more toxic than what it currently appears. The sheeple just are not dropping fast enough.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope.

In bold letters on their website, the Cedar Mill Library has written: Support free speach, support the Cedar Mill Library...yet they declined to purchase Donald's new book...because there are no reviews they deemed suitable (the type of reviews librarians use, to keep real free speach from reaching the unwashed masses). We certainly can't have people making up their own minds using facts, can we?
Last night I was talking to my friend about the ridiculous Trump/Biden theater, and he said a woman at his job had tried to talk to him about it. When he replied he did not pay attention to anything about that subject, she replied: "But aren't you scared of what's going to happen?" There it is in a nutshell...keep the normies in a constant state of anger and fear, so they are child's play to manipulate. The problem for we few who see right through all this, is the normie mass capitulation to anger/fear affects us. We are like the smaller, weaker co-joined twin, forced to have our own lives disrupted because of the mass hysteria of the tv hypnotized, dumbed down public. I cant wait to see what happens when they roll out the phony UFO landing. I knew covid was a psy-op when the first news stories trickled out of China in December 2019. This had been discussed in alt-media for at least 20 years. I thought they would do a covid, first with bird flu in the early '00s, or later with swine flu in Mexico in 2009. Those two attempts never got off the ground. I guess folks weren't yet dumb enough. So the controllers waited another eleven years, until the remarkably idiotic younger generation had more clout in society. I vowed not to go along with it, but it still impacted my life...which makes me very angry. At least it impacted my life much less than the average person, since I dropped out 30 plus years ago.
This latest Trump/Biden Kabuki Theater has reached levels of idiocy that even I did not foresee. It will be interesting to see what level of absurdity they will employ. Its all leading up to partition...which cant come fast enough for me.

Indeed. Since the rollout of the suicide jab, reading the daily online obits in the Oregonian, and my hometown paper has been a pleasure. I can hardly believe how often the obit is for someone I knew, once upon a time. I've always read the obits with interest, because I enjoy the life stories of ordinary people. Since 2021, the format has totally changed. No more cause of death listed.
Last night I hit the mother lode. A link in an obituary took me to Threadgill memorials. All obituaries of those opting for green burials or the recently legal human-composting. Now, I think embalming is disgusting and unnecessary, but I also know that those wanting these new services are going to be the wokest, NPR listener types, who eagerly lined up for the Jonestown jab. The obits were exactly as one would expect...very liberal types (one was called a great fan of NPR) dying in their fifties, sixties and seventies with a smattering of much younger people. These folks would likely have lived into their eighties and nineties without the clot shot. Before the scamdemic, most obits were for very elderly people. I know it sounds harsh, but the world is better without these people. They were the type to follow orders from the global elite without question. They endanger good, critical thinkers with their compliance.
Thanks for all the information from the ground. I was being humorous about the sheeple not dying fast enough. Quite frankly, I am not going to be shedding too many tears for lesbian librarians or the bully cops that harass homeless people. Nor am I going to be shedding any tears for the people on the school boards who are insider traders and know when there is going to be a spike in the gold or crypto markets and place their bets accordingly..
Short of something Biblical I really do not know how all this ends. I really do pity the people in their teens who have their whole lives ahead of them. No wonder they are jumping off the turnpike bridge.
He also oversaw the birth of HMOs, which created the Medical Industrial Complex. But I'm not sure those are impeachable offenses (no one knew, for instance, just how disastrous these actions would be). Thanks.
Trump is the Blight Wing, con-artist-servative clown chosen by the Cryptocracy to fan the flames of hatred and divisiveness among the sheeple, keeping their attention off of the shadow rulers while they laugh their asses off. The more they persecute the orange headed buffoon, and the more outrageously unjustified it is, the more his brain dead followers rally behind him and support him, conveniently forgetting that the asshole never kept one of his promises to them, which is the point of the whole charade. Among the list of government atrocities pointed out, I include the cold blooded murder of Vickie Weaver while holding her baby in the kitchen at Ruby Ridge, 1992, by FBI gook assassin Lon Hiruchi. He blew most of her head off with a high powered, sniper's rifle. This scumbag was not only not criminally prosecuted but actually promoted. Famed lawyer of the people, Gerry Spence, sued the Feds on behalf of the surviving Weaver family. He related that in the federal courthouse, in the corridor right outside the courtroom entrance, three FBI SWAT team members who were there and were subpoenaed to testify, grabbed him and very roughly slammed him against the wall, laughing as they passed him to enter the courtroom. Needless to say this greatly shook him up. Just a relatively minor incident like this, shows very clearly the contempt and disdain our "servants" in government feel about us. If they had run into him outside, I'm certain they would have done far worse to him, with impunity of course. Your mention of the Clinton-Monica Lewinsky fiasco triggered a pleasant and humorous memory. Many years ago, I had a torrid affair with a very pretty, married girl I met at work. Before we got down to doing the magic act in full, she would just give me oral sex and not let me undress her completely. She told me, and I kid you not, that as long as she kept her panties on and just performed oral sex on me without allowing full blown intercourse, she felt she was not cheating on her husband. Somehow, I don't think he would have concurred with that assessment. At any rate I refrained from telling her that she was a woman after Bill Clinton's own heart as I did not wish to derail a good thing. Regarding the sheer criminality of the political puppets placed over us, recall mobster Michael Corleone's conversation with his future wife, Kay, in the Godfather movie. Michael: "My father is no different than any other powerful man, like a president or a senator." Kay: "Michael, how naive you sound! Presidents and senators don't have people killed!" (Pause for effect). Michael: "Now who's being naive, Kay?" Great straight shooting, Don, you really hit the bullseye here.
Thank you, Don. I reckon Clinton and my ex lover declaring oral sex is not really sex is analogous to the media whores screeching that the rioters in the George Floyd psy-op were just exercising their "constitutional rights". Simply put, total lunacy. Paradoxically, the people peacefully protesting the criminal Covid lockdowns, who happened to be overwhelmingly white, were not and the cops dealt with them harshly. Barr is scum like all of Trump's appointees and like Trump himself.
I have a suspicion Gerry Spence had that incident with the SWAT goonies set up so that he could excuse his resultant imbecile defense.
I do hope you have subsequently reformed from those wild days at the office. It is pretty toasty down there.
Not that I am any saint, but my feminine foibles never had any danger of getting pregnant. They could only inflate or deflate, like the current debt economy.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope!
Honestly, I think the incident Spence described with the FBI SWAT scum was genuine. Murderers are not above unjustifiably roughing someone up, not by a long shot. He had proven himself over and over again in fierce courtroom battles as a champion of the people. He has been rightly called one of the greatest trial lawyers of the 20th century, often winning against impossible odds. He has never lost a criminal case and just one civil case way back in 1969. He got Randy Weaver acquitted of all the serious felony charges which included murder and Weaver was just convicted of bail violation and failure to appear for trial in which he received sentences of 18 months in jail, a 10 grand fine, and 3 years probation. Going up against the federal leviathan, that is a great victory, hardly an "imbecilic defense". Spence subsequently won 3.1 million dollars for Randy Weaver in a civil action against the government for the murder of Weaver's wife, 14 year old son, and family dog by the FBI. Despite Spence's insistence that the agents involved in the killings be indicted for murder, no charges were ever brought forth. That is hardly surprising. All in all, by any objective criteria, Spence did a remarkable job.
I would agree with you, Hereticdrummer, but can't forget Spence's ridiculous performance as defense attorney in the 1986 Showtime special, "The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald." Spence was so ignorant on the subject that he consistently referred to officer J.D. Tippit as "Tibbits." Thanks.
Thank you for sharing that , Don. Concomitantly, I recall that in the immediate wake of the O.J. Simpson murders incident, just prior to the trial before a defense team was chosen, Spence said that O.J. was a, "beautiful man" and he would be proud to defend him. He wound up declining because he insisted on running the defense and it was already decided that the leader would be Robert Shapiro who was later replaced by Johnnie Cochran. We're all flawed to a greater or lesser degree. Spence has always been far to the so-called Left politically but at least he is an honest liberal in the classical sense.
Was there such a thing as a good lawyer in the 20th Century? I just do not think so. In the legal, medical, and financial rackets, it seems you have to drink the proverbial koolaide at some point, or you don't get to be a member of the club. I am not saying you have to be photographed having relations with a minor in a padded coffin or between two mafia hits in a bloody outfit but, to a more or less degree, one has to sell his soul. In one thing the scum has expertise- it can certainly sniff out integrity.
I am quite jaded on the extent to which all the opposition is controlled. But I have yet to come across one high profile lawyer who has called BS on the whole legal system from top to bottom- from cops planting evidence to coffee shop plea deals to stacking of juries... they pull every trick in the book and then some, and meanwhile, they casually ruin lives in the process.
Now I agree that Spence was not forthcoming pond scum. But he did seem to know exactly how long his leash was, and which topics were taboo.
I recall his wanting to head the defense of OJ, and I think he could have acquitted OJ seeing how the cops botched the evidence. To this day, I think OJ had an accomplice- at least one. I just cannot see how one of the victims could not have gotten clean away- or at least forced OJ to pursue for several hundred yards after immobilizing his first victim. But that is a different topic.
I don't know whether Spence was grifting to enhance his high-profile status, or was forced to tarnish his reputation somewhat because of real perceived skeletons he had lying around. I guess we will only really know come Judgment Day.
Awesome, White Wolf, but OJ didn't kill NS and RG. His son Jason did. Jason had previously tried to kill both his ex-girlfriend and ex-boss on two separate occasions, both times using a knife. (He also apparently had tried to kill himself.) And OJ didn't have the mentality of a killer. Check out William Dear's "O.J. is Innocent and I Can Prove It": https://www.amazon.com/J-Innocent-Can-Prove/dp/1616086203
You are probably on to something there, Michigan.Rob. But quite frankly, OJ was never really on my radar, so your comment is all new news to me. It does make sense.
Quite frankly, I think the whole OJ trial was about dividing America. Some insisted he was innocent; others were just as sure he was guilty. Many a water cooler brawl erupted over the ongoing "coverage", if you could call it that.
The OJ Simpson trial was reality TV before its time.
Wasn't on my radar either, there, WW, but I thought I should, ya know?, set the record straight. :) Excellent read that Dear book, btw, if you’re interested. I read it six years ago and, if time permits (with work and the other 1000 books I have in the queue), will read again.
Spence wrote an excellent tome published in 1990, "With Justice For None" wherein he exposed the complete corruption of the legal industry in the U.S. affirming that without money or power (and the two usually go hand in hand) your prospects for justice in an American courtroom are nil. In the 1800s, it was said that Daniel Webster, a lawyer, was such a feared litigator for his courtroom prowess that upon hearing they would be facing him, adversarial lawyers would throw in the towel and concede before proceedings even began.
I'm sure the tome was excellent, Hereticdrummer, and if I come across it I'll give it a read.
But if Spence knew all the facts, then why did he stay in there and continue to profit off the system, or did he do a lot of pro-bono stuff I am not aware of?
That is the problem I have with a lot of these people- they'll rage against the beast, but they'll still suck from its tits.
In the early part of his lawyer career, he was struggling so much financially to support his wife and kids because he willingly defended people with an inability to pay him (I don't know if Public Defenders, "Pretenders", existed in Wyoming back then, we're talking about 70 years ago) that he took an offer to be a prosecutor for the guaranteed salary and government paid benefits. He didn't lose a case as a prosecutor either but he didn't last. It made him physically sick doing that and he started hitting the bottle heavily. He resigned and went back to being a private defense attorney. You can get the book at Amazon if you wish. I agree totally with your last statement.
"How can those who support liberty and want a truly free country, live in harmony with such people?"
They cannot, DJ. There shall be no harmony ... and no pudding for you, if you don't eat your meat! ;-) What we are now witness to is the utter antithesis of harmony, by design. These felonious miscreants have declared war on half the country and its symbolic standard bearer, the micropenis-endowed piñata. Thanks for the everlasting comical image, amigo! lol
I'm not much good at prognostication, but sometimes the future just sticks out like a bagel in a bowl of grits. It takes no clairvoyance at all to realize the "United" States are fast becoming Un-united.
Some states are now working to employ the only solution they have left, which is secession. It is no longer a matter of if, but when. And for Texas, that "when" happens in March, when we vote on the matter, if all goes as planned by we the people who live here and care about freedom.
You know how we can tell this is going to happen? Because there are actually people who have fled the communist hellhole of California and have come to the Lone Star State with the solemn vow that they will do everything in their power to make certain Texas does not become California. Not kidding.
And these patriot darlings are helping to make it happen by taking charge in the Texas Nationalist Movement and by shouldering leadership roles. They are skipping retirement and taking on enormous amounts of work to make this vote happen. It that doesn't inspire every Texan with half a brain to sign the petition for a vote, I have no idea what possibly could.
So, if we are going to get in a fight ... and you know we are ... why not fight for state sovereignty and leave this lying, corrupt, putrid federal government to fester and rot into the stinking, decaying pile of iniquity it is?
Many thanks for the brilliant essay ... and for making yet another great case for True Independence!
PS: I've been on the Heather Cox Richardson substack for the past month or so. Those folks are rabid Trump haters and Biden lovers. They are quite mad.
Go over there if you want to see Trump Derangement Syndrome in person. Don't get hit by the flying shit from the mad monkeys.
Anyone having the experience that Trump has with managing construction projects would have gotten the protestors to the Capitol while the legislators were still in their chambers if his intent was to overthrow them. Lewis Carroll died in 1898, missing all of the corruption that followed.
Another great article by DJ. I am so tired of the media talking about nothing but Trump I could scream. This guy has been in my face since he came down that damn elevator in 2015.
In my dreams I see Biden and Trump in the Thunderdome.
"Two Men Enter! One Man Leaves!"
If one of them survives the fight, put him in the basement taking care of the pigs that provide the methane powering Barter Town.
Someone please give these two old Anglo rich bastards from the Northeast the hook!
Donald Trump is running for president using his martyr status to do so. He doesn’t care how many times he gets indicted at this point, because it all plays in to some of the things you just talked about. He’s not really offering a program or programs to solve any of our problems. He is running as a person who is being absolutely penalized and persecuted for daring to be President of the United States.
It is like Trump has morphed into Jimmy Stewart character , and Jefferson Smith, from the film Mr. Smith goes to Washington. All that is needed is the steady script and direction from Frank Capra to make it all work out right. The fairy ending is that Trump will be vindicated, and the evil people will be punished. This is what is playing out in real life.
Yet we have in the White House, a perverted individual with his drug addicted, perverted pedophile, son. Neither of whom, no any shame whatsoever. And continue to act as if nothing has happened. Who in their right mind would have real faith in our justice system at this point. Certainly not I. This country has jumped fully into the abyss without thinking anything through.
It is really going to be fun watching this election and this campaign play out and the legal shenanigans put up on Trump and probably others by the department of justice and their minions. Here I have been a lifelong, ardent, conservative, and a capitalist, and yet the guy I happen to like right now is Robert F Kennedy, junior. He and I probably disagree on 80% of everything but there is that 20% I do like.. I actually feel like if he got in he might be a decent president. He’s never run for public office either so in 2016 I gave Trump a chance, so maybe it’s time I give Bob a chance.

Two points:
1) Biden can only be impeached for 'high crimes and misdemeanors' while serving as the actual president (even an illegitimate one) and not anything else outside that timeframe.
2) Also 'Slick Willie' was impeached for lying under oath to a grand jury--not for the actual sexual acts with Monica.
Great post. We're all f*cked until we decide to something about it. And I don't mean voting.
"He had to ban all opposition political parties. And newspapers. Honest Abe Lincoln did that, and he couldn’t even play the piano with his penis." No, but rumor hazzit he kicked up a few toe tappers while playing The Slobber Blues on the skin flute, now and again.
Bread and circuses dominate the people today. They don’t care. Look how we tolerate the criminal Biden regime. I work for a casino in the fiefdom of Delaware.

Quite frankly, I think the whole OJ trial was about dividing America. Some insisted he was innocent; others were just as sure he was guilty. Many a water cooler brawl erupted over the ongoing "coverage", if you could call it that.
The OJ Simpson trial was reality TV before its time.
Wasn't on my radar either, there, WW, but I thought I should, ya know?, set the record straight. :) Excellent read that Dear book, btw, if you’re interested. I read it six years ago and, if time permits (with work and the other 1000 books I have in the queue), will read again.
Spence wrote an excellent tome published in 1990, "With Justice For None" wherein he exposed the complete corruption of the legal industry in the U.S. affirming that without money or power (and the two usually go hand in hand) your prospects for justice in an American courtroom are nil. In the 1800s, it was said that Daniel Webster, a lawyer, was such a feared litigator for his courtroom prowess that upon hearing they would be facing him, adversarial lawyers would throw in the towel and concede before proceedings even began.
I'm sure the tome was excellent, Hereticdrummer, and if I come across it I'll give it a read.
But if Spence knew all the facts, then why did he stay in there and continue to profit off the system, or did he do a lot of pro-bono stuff I am not aware of?
That is the problem I have with a lot of these people- they'll rage against the beast, but they'll still suck from its tits.
In the early part of his lawyer career, he was struggling so much financially to support his wife and kids because he willingly defended people with an inability to pay him (I don't know if Public Defenders, "Pretenders", existed in Wyoming back then, we're talking about 70 years ago) that he took an offer to be a prosecutor for the guaranteed salary and government paid benefits. He didn't lose a case as a prosecutor either but he didn't last. It made him physically sick doing that and he started hitting the bottle heavily. He resigned and went back to being a private defense attorney. You can get the book at Amazon if you wish. I agree totally with your last statement.
This was a masterful compilation piece, Donald. A deep dive into the demonically (?) debauched depravity that dominates our dimwits in government.
It all seems rather hopeless to me. Glad I have my belief in God and some provisions stashed away. I’ll go down “unvaxxed” and swinging.
Thanks, AI!
beautiful post about UGLY subjects. thank you.
Thanks, Michael!
"How can those who support liberty and want a truly free country, live in harmony with such people?"
They cannot, DJ. There shall be no harmony ... and no pudding for you, if you don't eat your meat! ;-) What we are now witness to is the utter antithesis of harmony, by design. These felonious miscreants have declared war on half the country and its symbolic standard bearer, the micropenis-endowed piñata. Thanks for the everlasting comical image, amigo! lol
I'm not much good at prognostication, but sometimes the future just sticks out like a bagel in a bowl of grits. It takes no clairvoyance at all to realize the "United" States are fast becoming Un-united.
Some states are now working to employ the only solution they have left, which is secession. It is no longer a matter of if, but when. And for Texas, that "when" happens in March, when we vote on the matter, if all goes as planned by we the people who live here and care about freedom.
You know how we can tell this is going to happen? Because there are actually people who have fled the communist hellhole of California and have come to the Lone Star State with the solemn vow that they will do everything in their power to make certain Texas does not become California. Not kidding.
And these patriot darlings are helping to make it happen by taking charge in the Texas Nationalist Movement and by shouldering leadership roles. They are skipping retirement and taking on enormous amounts of work to make this vote happen. It that doesn't inspire every Texan with half a brain to sign the petition for a vote, I have no idea what possibly could.
So, if we are going to get in a fight ... and you know we are ... why not fight for state sovereignty and leave this lying, corrupt, putrid federal government to fester and rot into the stinking, decaying pile of iniquity it is?
Many thanks for the brilliant essay ... and for making yet another great case for True Independence!

Thanks, J. Lee!
PS: I've been on the Heather Cox Richardson substack for the past month or so. Those folks are rabid Trump haters and Biden lovers. They are quite mad.
Go over there if you want to see Trump Derangement Syndrome in person. Don't get hit by the flying shit from the mad monkeys.
I get her stack everyday and stifle my gag reflex to learn what the wanky wokesters are up to. Sometimes I wonder if she’s a CIA bot.
AI X G: I've often thought that Heather Cox Richardson was a CIA plant (Operation Mockingbird).
Anyone having the experience that Trump has with managing construction projects would have gotten the protestors to the Capitol while the legislators were still in their chambers if his intent was to overthrow them. Lewis Carroll died in 1898, missing all of the corruption that followed.
Well said.
This supposed trial will never see the light of day. Just another distraction. This is my opinion.
Another great article by DJ. I am so tired of the media talking about nothing but Trump I could scream. This guy has been in my face since he came down that damn elevator in 2015.
In my dreams I see Biden and Trump in the Thunderdome.
"Two Men Enter! One Man Leaves!"
If one of them survives the fight, put him in the basement taking care of the pigs that provide the methane powering Barter Town.
Someone please give these two old Anglo rich bastards from the Northeast the hook!
Thanks, Timmy!

David Cashion: You win the award for Most Enigmatic Comment of the Day.
Donald Trump is running for president using his martyr status to do so. He doesn’t care how many times he gets indicted at this point, because it all plays in to some of the things you just talked about. He’s not really offering a program or programs to solve any of our problems. He is running as a person who is being absolutely penalized and persecuted for daring to be President of the United States.
It is like Trump has morphed into Jimmy Stewart character , and Jefferson Smith, from the film Mr. Smith goes to Washington. All that is needed is the steady script and direction from Frank Capra to make it all work out right. The fairy ending is that Trump will be vindicated, and the evil people will be punished. This is what is playing out in real life.
Yet we have in the White House, a perverted individual with his drug addicted, perverted pedophile, son. Neither of whom, no any shame whatsoever. And continue to act as if nothing has happened. Who in their right mind would have real faith in our justice system at this point. Certainly not I. This country has jumped fully into the abyss without thinking anything through.
It is really going to be fun watching this election and this campaign play out and the legal shenanigans put up on Trump and probably others by the department of justice and their minions. Here I have been a lifelong, ardent, conservative, and a capitalist, and yet the guy I happen to like right now is Robert F Kennedy, junior. He and I probably disagree on 80% of everything but there is that 20% I do like.. I actually feel like if he got in he might be a decent president. He’s never run for public office either so in 2016 I gave Trump a chance, so maybe it’s time I give Bob a chance.

It's going to a blitzkrieg.
Hang on or get out of the way.
Come forward now or you are a criminal, last chance for whistle blowers is coming fast
Two points:
1) Biden can only be impeached for 'high crimes and misdemeanors' while serving as the actual president (even an illegitimate one) and not anything else outside that timeframe.
2) Also 'Slick Willie' was impeached for lying under oath to a grand jury--not for the actual sexual acts with Monica.
Great post. We're all f*cked until we decide to something about it. And I don't mean voting.
Thanks, Tank!
"He had to ban all opposition political parties. And newspapers. Honest Abe Lincoln did that, and he couldn’t even play the piano with his penis." No, but rumor hazzit he kicked up a few toe tappers while playing The Slobber Blues on the skin flute, now and again.
Bread and circuses dominate the people today. They don’t care. Look how we tolerate the criminal Biden regime. I work for a casino in the fiefdom of Delaware. I see people lose 1500 and then go to the atm. Where is this money coming from? 700 a month car payments? Unaffordable housing. Recor credit card debt? I see a Soviet style collapse coming.
